Winning championships is how we measure success, but it doesn't always tell the entire story. A team's winning percentage shows just how consistent the team has been throughout the years.

Luckily for the folks in Columbus, they have Ohio State sports that bring them some joy.

As good as all of the data is, the last graphic may be a bit misleading. The Montreal Canadiens have hoisted the Stanley Cup 24 times, but the data doesn't take account for the years that the Montreal Expos were in existence. Not only does that make Montreal look very successful, but it also hurts the city of Washington, D.C. The Nationals franchise has yet to win a World Series.

Regardless of that minor issue, the data is terrific. So if you think that your city has it bad, just remember, there is likely another city that has it even worse.
